I love a Italian Salad and this particular one is quick and easy to make. In addition to this, I am also a fan cheese especially mozzarella. Cheese creates a lovely, chewy texture that complements the salad in terms of flavour. The prep time for making this salad is minimum and what is great is that you can make this salad with pretty much any pasta dish. It is still quite a healthy salad.
If you are on a diet, you can withhold the cheese and the flavour is just as great.
